i think what Maddy was getting at is that Lucas wouldn't/couldn't change the formular of his films just becouse the majority of his audience had grown up. If anything it doubled his audience since all the older fans would drag themselves along to see it even if it was pap, and also people too young for the originals to have an impact would go for the action and special effects. I enjoyed episode three very much and think it is much better than one and two (doubt many would disagree) and i also prefered it to six - many of the faults people have issues with for the new trilogy existed in that film aswel imo.

If you can suffer through some really pony acting from aiden christinson(sp) and some truly cringeworthy lines in the early parts of the film, then the film gets pretty damn good, once anakin goes dark aiden is much better and quite believable and the final scene between anakina nd obi wan was quite emotive (would only have been better if we had been reminded that anakin was supposed to be the bringer of balance a bit more) and the killing of the jedi was a great scene if not a nice one. anyway this is just my opinion and i'm no expert - i didn't even get thet the slightly camp looking wookie was meant to be good ol' chewie until just before yoda ses his name
